Hello
Everyone,
This
was a pretty eventful week.
On
Saturday, Cole Krawczyk got baptized! It was a really nice service. His mother,
who is returning to the church after years of inactivity, spoke on baptism and
did a wonderful job. The decorations were very nice and there were refreshments
that were all color coordinated. She went all out with this baptism. It was a
great way to finish our service in that ward.
Then
on Sunday night, we took Elder Jacobson to the mission office. When and elder
is leaving the mission, they have a dinner which includes all the missionaries
that are finishing their missions. Following dinner, they have a family home
evening of sorts. Typically, I would have just dropped Elder Jacobson off and
leave but the mission president's wife likes to make up little reasons to give
me perks. This time, her reason was for me to help out the mission secretary
with pictures that were to be given to the departing missionaries. After a few
minutes it was easy to see that she didn't really need my help at all, and I
was then told to go to the dinner and the family home evening. It was nice of
them to let me go to the special evening and be able to say goodbye to Elder
Jacobson.
On
Tuesday, we had our transfer meeting. I have been transferred to Payson to be
companions with Elder Watts. He is from Salt Lake. It seems to me that we will
get along nicely. We have a nice apartment for the two of us, and we have a car.
I'm excited to serve here. I truly prefer the more rural mountain areas rather than
the busy cities in the valley. So today I'll just be settling in and getting to
know the area. My camera is still packed, but I'll send pictures next week.
Elder
Kirk
